Liverpool legend John Aldridge has laid into Anfield flop Milan Jovanovic for moaning about his time on Merseyside.

In his Liverpool Echo column Aldridge raged: "I couldn't believe it when I read that Milan Jovanovic has been slaughtering Liverpool.

"Apparently the Serbian has told his Anderlecht team-mate Matias Suarez not to ever consider moving to Anfield. Jovanovic said he spent most of his time crying when he was at Liverpool and felt unhappy every day in the city.

"Well, I shed a tear every time I saw Jovanovic walk out on that pitch. He shouldn’t have been anywhere near our football club because he wasn’t good enough.

"Liverpool fans gave him a chance when he didn’t deserve one and he repays them by disrespecting the club and our great city."

Jovanovic had reportedly said that he warned his Anderlecht team-mate Matias Suarez not to move to "depressing" Anfield.

Argentina striker Suarez is being hunted by a pack of Europe's biggest clubs and is a £20million Kop summer target.

Jovanovic endured a miserable 2010-11 campaign with Liverpool after joining on a free from Standard Leige, and was conspicuously placed in the reject bin when Kenny Dalglish took over the hotseat.

Not surprisingly he has told his 23-year-old team-mate that life on Merseyside is grim.

Jovanovic, 28, said: “I shed lots of tears in England. I felt unhappy every day over there. London is a nice place to live but everywhere else is depressing.

“I have advised Suarez not to move to Liverpool. They’ll throw a lot of money at him but he should opt for Italy.

"He must go to Italy. He will like life there. A club like Juventus is right for him."
